Operations IT
ERP-Systems are the backbone for the execution of business processes in industrial enterprises. Applied rightly they are a pivotal element for increased efficiency and for high degrees of transparency.
But also well optimized business processes may still necessitate the application of a supportive software. This may be for example the case if complex product structures and/or manufacturing organizations forecloses planning- and scheduling procedures with pad and pencil.
APS-Systems (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) dispatch manufacturing orders against finite resources and allow to generate production schedules which consider multiple constraints.
TMS-Systems (Tool Management Systems) mirror the flow of production tools and fixtures within the company and provide insight in terms of tool availability and inventory levels.
MES-Systems (Manufacturing Execution Systems) focus on shop floor data collection (work progress, OEE etc.) and provide in many cases additional functionality such as short term scheduling or the support of maintenance operations.
Our clients value CIM Aachen’s support in:
- Generation of requirements specifications
- Preselection of prospective IT-systems
- Individualized evaluation of the software-"candidates".
- Design of contracts and software implementation.
